PC Mag Compares G5 to Xeon

Posted by pudge on Sunday September 21, 2003 @05:48AM from the i-will-take-one-of-each dept.

zpok writes "PC Magazine did a comparison between a dual 2.0-GHz Power Mac G5 and an equally expensive Dell Precision 650 Workstation running dual 3.06-GHz Xeon processors. Their conclusion: 'we see that indeed the G5 is generally as fast as the best Intel-based workstations currently available.' But of course 'our cousin Ned can build you a better'un at half the dough.'"

"the Apple benchmarks were about as close to objective as you're gonna get."

Of course they are. I agree with you 100%. When I buy a car, I only read the literature from the car company. They are more objective than Consumer Reports. I also consider the spokesmen for the Bush administration to be the most objective people to find out information about the Bush administration from.
